Got a load of CDs for Father's Day. Been alternating between the Beach Boys' new one, the Best of Bonnie Raitt and a new live CD from Randy Bachman and Fred Turner, who cannot call themselves Bachman-Turner Overdrive for legal reasons.

Well, in my CD-ROM drive it's been of late some Teena Marie best-of's, The Go-Go's Greatest & Return To The Valley Of The Go-Go's, some Prince records, a Heart best-of CD, Loverboy BIG ONES best-of CD, and some odds and ends, such as House of Schock, feat. Go-Go's drummer Gina Schock on lead vocals, ECSTACY'S DANCE: The Best Of Narada Michael Walden, the soundtrack to Grease 2, and some others. On my MP3 players, oodles of tunes, including the overture to the anime series, Battle of the Planets, and the jazzy version of the theme to The Six Million Dollar Man, which is really cool to listen to while jogging/walking on the treadmill.

It has been a long time since I played a CD. I have a MP3 player in my car so listen to stuff via that rather than CD. Any CD is just ripped and added to my extensive database. I also have my laptop hooked up to my TV and home sound system. I have a huge library of music and just put my database on random play. I tend to just skip something I do not want to listen to. I hit the button a lot...LOL. I have been rehearsing a new set list so this past few weeks have been playing these songs till I know them inside out.... I am almost sick of hearing them. I have been listening to Yes a lot as I was given a boxed set anthology....nice. It makes a change listening to real musicians instead of the crap in the charts these days. Oh and when I want a laugh I listen to Justin Beiber or Taylor Swift.

Well, I have a Walkman Cassette Player, Don't Laugh, that I can put a Cassette in and play when I go out for a walk. I haven't used it in a while. You can probably do the same thing with a Mp3 Player or something like that. I am behind the times. Shut up Big Jim!

Ray is your Walkman clockwork.....? Does it have a huge horn sticking out where the music comes from? And does it have a little dog as a logo? These museum piece may be worth a lot of money to antique collectors. With this money you might be able to buy a digital walkman....or even a multi media player.

Ray I think I have the same Readers Digest box set but mine is a very old one from the 60s. My dad bought it when I was a teenager. I inherited it when he passed away. it is vinyl with a dozen 12" LP records......there is some great stuff on it. Great music is timeless and has no age barriers.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
